Product Description

In this work, James Kirwan provides a concise history of the concept of beauty as a distinct aesthetic experience (marginalized by the rise of philosophical aesthetics in the 20th century) and offers an answer to the age-old question of what beauty is; an answer that, placing the responsibility for beauty firmly with the eye of the beholder, explains what is in this "eye" that gives rise to beauty.
